Abstract
Potato minituber production is a classic way to multiply or acclimatize in vitro material before its use in the open field. This production is generally performed in a substrate of vegetable origin (based on peat) but it involves the risk of an infection by different pathogens present in the substrate, such asStreptomyces scabies (common scab),Spongospora subterranea (powdery scab), orErwinia spp. (bacterial soft rot). Another drawback associated with this system of production is its relatively high cost due to the initial cost of the in vitro material and the low multiplication rates.
